First time I have ever seen this and I didn't know it was even legal. Impressive from this young lady.

I didn't know it was legal.

Playing the ball with anything below your waist had been illegal in HS volleyball until just recently, perhaps the last 2 years. It had been legal in club and college volleyball for as long as I can remember but have rarely seen it used. Most instances would be to dig an attack that could only be reached with the players foot.

I saw it the other day in a local HS game and it wasn't called. The rule was just recently changed. Saved a point for her team as well.

That is a cool play!

Great thinking by the young lady. I too had realized that they had changed this at the HS level. I remember in either the NCAA Vball Finals or the Olympics someone made a big play like this and it was getting lots of airtime on ESPN.

My niece did it a couple of times 2 years ago in 2011 in high school.. It was legal then.
